How does sunlight affect starch formation in leaves?

Plants can't absorb sunlight without starch

Starch and sunlight have nothing to do with each other, because sunlight helps a plant produce glucose, and glucose and starch (though they may sound similar) are very different

As sunlight decreases starch increases

As sunlight increases starch increases

As sunlight increases starch decreases

All of the above

None of the above

This isn't a question we will be tested on... How are we supposed to know?!

How does chlorophyll affect starch formation in the leaves?

Select the
two correct answers

Starch helps plants absorb sunlight

Chlorophyll is required for plants to be able to absorb sunlight

Chlorophyll and starch aren't actually related because chlorophyll helps plants absorb sunlight which they need for photosynthesis and starch is a waste product slightly relevant to photosynthesis, but without chlorophyll starch would still be produced, and without starch chlorophyll would still be produced so they don't directly affect one another.

What happened in the pink areas of the leaves we studied in class?

They made less starch than the green areas of the leaves because chlorophyll is required to absorb sunlight and sunlight is required to make starch and chlorophyll is green so the green areas of the leaves are high in chlorophyll and the pink areas aren't.

They made the same amount of chlorophyll because the pink areas are full of a different pigment called Carotene and Carotene helps plants absorb sunlight just as well as Chlorophyll does and sunlight is required for starch to be produced. Plants with both Carotene and Chlorophyll (pink/orange, and green) produce a lot of starch and absorb a lot of sunlight.

They made more starch than the green areas of the leaves because pink is a low energy color and can absorb sunlight easily

How do we know that plants produce the gas Oxygen?(there should be 5 right answers)

Select the
five correct answers

We conducted the same experiment as mentioned in the answer about BTB except it was with Iodine, because everyone knows that BTB is the chemical we used for the cheese puff experiment and not the chemical we used for the photosynthesis experiment

A student in our class blew bubbles (of carbon dioxide) into the BTB turning it green

We tested this using the chemical Phenol Red

We tested this using the chemical Iodine

Phenol Red turns orange when mixed with oxygen

We put the green BTB into a closed jar with another plant, and over time the BTB turned blue, meaning that the plant absorbed the Carbon dioxide and produced oxygen

Phenol Red turns pink when mixed with carbon dioxide

BTB turns blue when mixed with oxygen

Iodine turns green when mixed with carbon dioxide

A student in our class blew bubbles (of carbon dioxide) into the Iodine turning it green
